Chinkles is a sweet & gift shop located in The Market Place Shopping Centre in Blackwood. The shop is the second to be opened locally by owner Samantha Tomsett, the other is in Aberbargoed. 
Her aim is to create a unique experience for her customers including by:
- focusing on customer experience
- arranging rows of sweets in jars behind the counter
- displaying a mini Ferris Wheel laden with sweets in the window
- the Ferris Wheel stocked full of sweets is also available to hire for children’s parties.
She said:
Our aim is simply to make people happy!
When someone chooses sweets or buys a balloon for an occasion it makes them smile.
Having worked my whole life in retail I know how important it is that people enjoy coming into your shop
